Those specific trains are unfortunately during the commute periods, in
the heavily traveled direction for BART.  Caltrain allows bicycles any
time (but there is a limit per train and demand is high so your chances
of getting bumped may be as well).  Folding bikes are allowed any time,
although you may have to have them is a case (a soft one is OK).

Some of the small electric scooters may be a good choice for some
people, as long as they don't have to go too far at either end of
the trip: you can take them anywhere and some of the ones I've seen
fold up easily and could possibly fit under a seat.  These would be
an excellent choice for 'last mile' travel with 'last mile' being
taken pretty literally---the range can be as short as 6 miles on
these units before needing to recharge the batteries.
